SCHRIEVER SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Orbital Defense Initiation, or ODIN, is Space Delta 9’s initial training course where new members can gain a base knowledge on orbital mechanics, warfare principles, current threats to space assets and more.

However, their most recent graduation included Guardians wearing patches other than DEL 9’s.

The three ODIN graduates from Space Delta 6’s 69th Cyber Squadron are part of a U.S. Space Force initiative to embed cyber and intel capabilities into space operations squadrons to speed up decision making and improve readiness.

They will work side-by-side space operators and intelligence experts, providing cyber capability to operational missions.

“It’s important for cyber operators to have the same fundamental orbital warfare knowledge base as the space operators. It allows them to better understand and react to the issues that space operators encounter every day,” said USSF Capt. Melanie Mohseni, ODIN deputy flight commander. “It’s also necessary to have cyber expertise on the operations floor so that when we encounter cyber issues, we have those subject matter experts helping the crew commander make decisions.”

The 69th CYS is one of several squadrons being formed from the 61st CYS and aligned under DEL 6 administratively.

“We exist to defend their terrain.

The mission of 69 CYS is to enable the protect and defend mission of Delta 9 through active cyber defense,” said USSF Lt. Col. Shane Warren, 61st CYS commander.

Space operations involves aroundthe-clock missions, with operational squadrons continuously manned. This initiative puts the right expertise in the room instead of on-call. Cyber operators attending a delta’s initial Peterson Space Force Base

U.S. Space Force Col. Mark Bigley, Space Delta 9 commander, presents an Orbital Defense Initiation Course, or ODIN, graduation certificate to USSF Sgt. Dylan Edwards at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 16, 2022. Edwards is a cyber operator with Space Delta 6’s 69th Cyberspace Squadron, embedded with DEL 9 as part of a USSF initiative to integrate cyber and intel capabilities into space operations squadrons to enhance decision making and improve operational readiness.

training course ensures everyone can speak the same language.

“It helps our operators to know what normal looks like,” said Warren. “If they see indicators that something doesn’t look normal in the terrain they’re monitoring, because they’re trained and sitting side-by-side, they can determine if there is potentially malicious activity and what can we do to stop it.”

The knowledge sharing flows in both directions. The space operators are getting more in-depth cyber knowledge as well.

“The first thing I discussed with the three recent ODIN cyber grads was them helping us develop a Cyber curriculum,” said Mohseni.

Since the initiative is at the ground

level, DEL 6 is allowing many Guardians the chance to have a voice in their assigned operational cyber squadron, numbered in the 60’s to match the delta they support, with the 69th CYS supporting DEL 9, the 68th CYS supporting DEL 8 and so on.

“We describe to the Guardians, ‘this is the Space Domain Awareness mission, this is the Electromagnetic Warfare mission, this is the SATCOM mission,’ and ask, ‘What interests you the most?’,” said Warren.

According to Warren, there are roughly 175 Guardians in the 61st Cyber Squadron, with a large portion assigned to active and future squadrons according to their own inputs.

This initiative is not just making space operations squadrons more casfspaceorbital.com

pable, it is also providing force development for the future of the USSF. “This is how we develop senior master sergeants in the Space Force. We’ve tried to go beyond ‘I’m cyber, you’re intel.’ In the Space Force, we all work on space,” said USSF Senior Master Sgt. Charles Presley, 69th CYS superintendent. “A superintendent for a Space Force squadron could come from any operational background, so it’s important to expose the next generation of enlisted leaders to all aspects of the space enterprise as early in their career as possible.”

As the USSF builds its culture and forges its own identity, Guardians in cyber are one step closer. They are a weapon system, practicing their craft to safeguard and enhance the space mission.

“You can see the spark in these Guardian’s eyes when they come in,” said Warren.

“They’re definitely excited, and we’ve got some really talented Guardians.”

DEL 6 plans to have cyber squadrons embedded in other space deltas, expanding capabilities to more USSF missions, in the near future, eventually shaping a future where everybody is looking at the same problem through different lenses, tackling the same problem with different skillsets.

STARCOM debuts new combat readiness exercise in BLACK SKIES 22

By Staff Writer Space Training and Readiness Command Public Affairs

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — Space Training and Readiness Command completed its first iteration of the inaugural SKIES exercise series aimed at improving the U.S. Space Force’s command and control capabilities.

The exercise, BLACK SKIES 22, which ran from Sept. 19-23, was a live simulation exercise designed to rehearse the command and control of multiple joint electronic warfare fires.

Space Delta 1’s 392d Combat Training Squadron led the development of BLACK SKIES with assistance from Space Delta 11’s 25th Space Range Squadron, and multiple combat squadrons within Space Operations Command, the National Guard Bureau and the U.S. Air Force Reserves.

A live simulation exercise is a training event involving real people operating real systems, said U.S. Space Force Lt. Col. Albert Harris, 392d CTS commander.

“This is different from virtual simulation involving real people operating simulated systems, and constructive simulation involving simulated people operating simulated systems,” Harris said.

The 25th SRS configured multiple advanced training ranges for BLACK SKIES 22.

The live range spanned the distance between California and Colorado and elevated to a specified

3’s 4th and 16th Electronic Warfare Squadrons, Guardians from Space Delta 5, and coalition warfighters from U.S. Space Command’s Combined Space Operations Center.

The exercise scenario focused on a notional crisis in U.S. European Command’s area of responsibility.

The crisis included coalition combat operations in the air, special operations on the ground, and cyber operations effecting various domains, all presented by the 392d CTS using constructive simulation.

“BLACK SKIES 22 offered an unprecedented opportunity to partner across the Total Force, including Active-Duty, Air National Guard, and the Air Force Reserves,” said Col. Christopher Fernengel, Space Delta 3 commander. “This was an exercise that allowed our service members to step into the arena and demonstrate our combined electronic warfare readiness.”

The BLACK SKIES 22 training audience used live and virtual simulation provided by the 25th SRS to layer electromagnetic effects against 29 simulated targets. Participants also planned and executed integrated operations, refined multiple tactics and rehearsed command and control relationships.

The exercise concluded with over 20 learning points, proving to be a huge success, enabling advanced training for 50 space warfighters in California and Colorado.

“BLACK SKIES 22 increased our readiness by practicing offensive and defensive operations in the electromagnetic spectrum,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Shawn sfspaceorbital.com

Bratton, STARCOM commander.

“By rehearsing functions such as joint fires and joint command and control, BLACK SKIES helps to prepare space forces to compete and prevail in conflict when our nation calls upon us to do so.”

Overall, it took the 392d Combat Training Squadron nine months to build the BLACK SKIES exercise.

Space Force Maj. Benjamin Skee, 392d CTS large force exercise flight commander, served as the BLACK SKIES 22 exercise director.

Skee built a joint team spanning multiple Space Force Bases to successfully put on the exercise. His team comprised of an exercise control group at Vandenberg, Schriever, and Peterson Space Force Bases that included exercise planners, intelligence support and various space tacticians.

“I watched Major Skee build and lead this team over the last several months,” said Harris. “I was impressed with his team’s ability to quickly build a scenario, secure the appropriate approvals, and deliver the required resources to make possible the first brand new exercise for the Space Force.”

Looking ahead, additional exercises in the SKIES series include RED SKIES, a live simulation orbital warfare training event, and BLUE SKIES, a live simulation cyber warfare training event. RED SKIES is planned to debut in early 2023, and a date for BLUE SKIES is under evaluation.

STARCOM plans to conduct another service-level BLACK SKIES exercise in 2023.

“ The training we received from JCO Americas was a very important step in our development...”

U.K. makes history, leads SACT Meridian cell for the first time U.S. Space Force photo by Tiana Williams

Cpl. Ryan, space systems operator at the U.K. Space Operations Centre, participates in training at the Joint Task Force-Space Defense Commercial Operations cell (JCO) facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 28, 2022. The training enabled the United Kingdom to successfully lead their first Sprint Advanced Concept Training, Meridian shift, out of High Wycombe, England, Aug. 1-5, 2022.

By Ms. Bridget Bonnette Joint Task Force-Space Defense Public Affairs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Following two weeks of training with the Joint Task Force-Space Defense Commercial Operations Cell (JCO), the United Kingdom successfully led its first Sprint Advanced Concept Training (SACT) Meridian cell shift out of High Wycombe, England, Aug. 1-5, 2022.

The SACT event series is a tri-annual live-virtual experiment and exercise series that provides opportunities for commercial vendors of space data and analytics capabilities to explore integration of their products in a realistic space operations environment.

SACTs were created to provide a venue for rapid innovation and improvement to current space operations and provide commercial vendors with an accessible entry point, supporting both commercial and military space integration efforts. The JCO, operating at the non-classified level, allows acceleration of integration at commercial speeds, ultimately raising the state-of-the-art capabilities in space domain awareness.

Throughout the event series, space operators leverage ideas to innovate current capabilities and simultaneously test developmental capabilities to decide how they might be incorporated into mission needs, ultimately driving innovation in space enterprise execution.

October 13, 2022

These events began in 2019 involving just a handful of commercial partners with the goal of leveraging commercial technologies in supporting international space domain awareness efforts.

The SACT series is used as a technical assessment of capabilities for burgeoning commercial providers looking to demonstrate their capabilities, such as how well they can track satellites or perform maneuver detection and threat assessments.

The SACT series runs for an entire week and includes two, 24-hour operations cycles, during which time, participants are faced with an aggressive series of space operations desired learning objectives (DLOs) using end-to-end operational systems. * According to Sprint Advanced Concept Training (SACT): A renaissance in collaborative international space operations, the DLOs are designed by representative sponsoring agencies, including U.S. Space Command and the Department of Commerce, to understand where the true commercial capacity in space surveillance stands with respect to operational Space Domain Awareness and Space Traffic Management needs. * “Our JTF-SD SACT experiment series provides a venue for exploring a wide range of space domain awareness technologies and opportunities for collaboration in support of our protect and defend mission,” said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Tom James, commander of the JTF-SD.

Teams experience routine and adversary threat engagement simulations such as Search and Recovery (SAR); Closely Spaced Object (CSO) discrimination; satellite characterization; high-cadence surveillance; conjunction assessment; and Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) analysis, all while continuously executing real-world events.

Current SACTs involve participants from all over the world comprising of over 70 commercial companies, universities, and military organizations, demonstrating the exponential growth in participation in just a few years.

The August SACT included participation by not only the U.K., but also from numerous international teams including Australian (AUS) Defense Space, Canadian Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC), AUS Responsive Space Operations Center (RSOC), AUS Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), Chile Air Force (FACh), and others.

The JCO ordinarily leads these SACTs from the Americas cell, made up in total of the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and Chile, here in Colorado Springs.

However, U.K. Space Command, through the direction of Fg Off Hallchurch, led the Meridian Cell from RAF High Wycombe, England, enabling the United Kingdom to become the first country to independently lead a SACT cell.

This SACT also allowed for a practice hand-off

between the Pacific, Meridian, and Americas cells.

“It just so happens that our strongest allies are 8 hours apart in both directions,” said Joe Gerber, aerospace engineer and lead integrator for the JCO. “With our core team of allies doing shift work, or the ‘follow the sun’ model, this allows the JCO to perform 24/7 operations so that each cell is only operating during normal business hours.”

In preparation for this milestone, U.K. Space Command personnel participated in training at the JCO during the last two weeks of July. The training involved side by side operations between JCO and U.K. Space Command personnel to demonstrate the JCO’s methods of completing tasks and involved executing different functions such as launch processing, mission management, and ballistic trajectory dissent processing.

“The training we received from JCO Americas was a very important step in our development”, said Cpl Ryan, space systems operator at the U.K. Space Operations Centre. “The opportunity to see how a well-established JCO crew conducts day-to-day operations is something that we were keen to take back. JCO’s capabilities

are extensive, and we look forward to playing a critical role, together with our partners from the Pacific and America cells, in delivering 24-7 operations in the near future.”

Now that the SACT has concluded, the JCO plans to conduct follow-on training to address learning outcomes and enhance space operations knowledge.

Because space is no longer a benign environment, other countries are now recognizing the importance of space operations, accelerating their own technologies, and advancing their own space capabilities. By collaborating with the JCO, our international partners can team with the United States in space operations and advance the protection and defense of their own space systems.

Achieving 24/7 JCO operations is being proven through the SACTs, with the aim of incorporating allies and partners permanently into a continuous 24-hour operations cycle that spans the globe. * Please visit https://amostech. com/2020-technical-papers/ to download the full paper, Sprint Advanced Concept Training (SACT): A Renaissance in Collaborative International Space Operations.
